Yvonne had her own career, so it wasn't like she couldn't take care of Xavier. If it came to a court decision, the court might not necessarily rule in my favor.
"At that point, things will get even more complicated for me," I said.
"So, you're just going to start a film company? You don't have any resources," Hayden said.
Starting a film company wasn't something you could just do. It required connections, money, and resources. I had none of that, so how was I supposed to start a company?
"Besides, even if you really did start a film company, it's not like we have any artists under us. Are you just going to have Xavier on the roster?"
I nodded at Hayden and rubbed my chin. "You're right. There's no way the company can have only Xavier under us."
Hayden said, "That's what I mean. You should—"
I interjected, "I should recruit a few more people. That way, it won't look so suspicious."
Money was not a problem as long as it could make Xavier happy. As long as he didn't continue mixing with those people in the entertainment industry, anything would do.
Hayden looked at me in disbelief. "You're crazy. You've really gone insane. Can't you just let that kid's mother take care of him?"
Yvonne was still Xavier's mother in the end. How could she harm him?
I frowned when I heard that. Then, I slammed a hand on the table. "It's precisely because Yvonne is his mother that Xavier doesn't have his guard up against her. They've been subtly guiding him to hate me, and I absolutely can't let that happen."
Xavier would also never go drinking with anyone again.
I didn't care if Hayden was opposed to it. I was already determined to start the company.
Grandma found out about it before the application was even processed.
